Lean bulking cycle... Do you prefer it?

[junk]

This Bulking & Cuttin thing drives me mad. I'm at about 9% BF right now. When I get past 11-12% start to look bad. Then when coming to 14% for my figure and body type I look just terrible without a shirt on. Beach time is coming so I would prefer gaining some muscle and not fat tissues. Experiences and Suggestions? Last time I ate about 4000 cals a day and got 1 pound of fat gain for every pound of muscle gain (NOT a good ratio). And I ate super clean, lots of protein, high quality carbs and low fat.

I went on my last mega bulking phase this winter. I got WAAAAY to fat. I am taking it off now. It sucks. I usually get to about 15% bodyfat while bulking because i eat clean, just more. I like to do that in the winter. But this winter i ate any and everything, i gained a ton of weight, and lots of fat. From now on i am bulking more moderately. So i can get to 8 to 10% more easily.-WULF

Don't know how old you are, but I am in love with GH at 31. Keeps the fat off and better when dieting, makes me feel good and keeps the lipid profile looking better. It's something to consider given your concerns/requirements.
